The USDJPY has moved higher on the day, but is coming off highs for the day. Technically, the price high today did stall at a technical swing area near 152.11. However, on the downside, a move below the 200 hour MA at 151.496 is still needed to disappoint the buyers,and give sellers more confidence/control. Absent that and the buyers are still in firm control..
